Man with knife robs Shilo Inns in Tigard

TIGARD – The Shilo Inns motel on Greenburg Road was held up at knifepoint Sunday afternoon, Tigard Police said.

A man threatened a woman working behind the desk at the motel located at 10830 S.W. Greenburg Road, said Jim Wolf, spokesman for Tigard Police.

No one was hurt in the 2:15 p.m. stick up, he added. An undisclosed amount of cash was taken.

Wolf said the man entered the motel lobby and made casual conversation with the 28-year-old female clerk until others were gone.

He then produced a knife and demanded money before fleeing the area, Wolf said.

The robber was in his 20s to early 30s and was about 5 feet 10 inches tall with a thin build. During the robbery, the man wore a dark green cap, blue jeans and a light brown sweatshirt. The clerk told police the robber's face was pock-marked and unshaven, Wolf said. He had a black and yellow screw driver tucked into the waistband of his pants.

Anyone with information about the robbery or the suspect is asked to call Tigard Police at 503-639-6168.
